Hi,
i think you expect amanda to put backups of multiple days on one tape,
do you?
if this is true you are completley wrong.
Amanda needs one tape for every day's backup, no matter how many data

there is a patch for doing that

I plan to switch from dump to tar, because with one out of six

So, I changed my entries in disklist from nocomp-root to root-tar
